This photographic diptych, like my previous post, is from my series Break Even, Break Even XIII, Without Warning. As with its companion piece, “Break Even XII, Warning,” at a distance it appears as textured rectangular blocks of color. In this case, cool and inviting with little indication that there is any danger nearby. Closer, details in the two desert meadow scenes taken in Catalina State Park can be discerned. The lower portion now emphasizes the paths leading without warning to the hidden dangers, more visible as one looks closer, at the top of the diptych. An allegory of life’s surprises, our mistakes, and an internal journey is the best way that I can describe what I hope viewers experience.
